(a)“We had to carry our identification cards and wait in a long line to get our rations,” Ah Ma recalled. “Different items were distributed at different places, rice could be in the east and kerosene in the west, so we had to cover great distances before we could buy them.”

(a)Inference: The source tells me that life in Singapore during that time was hard as they had to go through different procedures and travelling great  distances just so that they can eat .
Evidence:“We had to carry our identification cards and wait in a long line to get our rations,” Ah Ma recalled. “Different items were distributed at different places, rice could be in the east and kerosene in the west, so we had to cover great distances before we could buy them.” said by a grandmother who lived through the Japanese Occupation.

(b)Inference:Teenagers faced food shortage even after going through great lengths for food rationing.
Evidence:“I remembered blisters and calluses formed on my hands from digging the soil and carrying hoes,” Ah Ma said. “They were really painful but we didn’t have any money to buy gloves to protect my hands.”

Being a teenager was hard as they would do dangerous things just so that they could eat a meal, but they wont have enough due to rationing and the prices of food back then.

(b)Once a plane is spotted or heard, Grandma and her neighbors would flee to a nearby rubber plantation to seek cover.Amongst the thicket of rubber trees, they would hide in a long and deep trench secretly dug by numerous families, which could fit about five to six families. To camouflage their hiding place, wooden planks were placed across the hole before grass patches were laid above them.
